The UltraTools Product Line

SoundToys continues to make its UltraTools line of plug-ins for Pro Tools TDM 

systems. UltraTools is the most complete package of advanced audio manipulation

tools for Pro Tools, giving you complete power over time and pitch.

PurePitch™

PurePitch is the tool of choice for vocal manipulation on Pro Tools. The first formant

preserving TDM pitch processor, PurePitch is a great tool for creating harmony

vocals or altering vocal character.

PitchDoctor™

The most natural-sounding intonation processor available, anywhere. When you want

to fix pitch without killing the performance, PitchDoctor is the only option.

Speed™

Jaw-dropping time-compression, expansion and pitch transposition that works

incredibly well; even on full mixes. Wish we had this when we were trying to learn all

those Hendrix licks.

SoundBlender™

An amazing multi-effects processor in a single plug-in. Includes a complete library of

stunning effects, from lush chorus and swirling delays to truly mind-bending sonic

destruction. What else would you expect from the creators of the Eventide’s original

H3000 effects processor?
